FAQs
When should I see an orthopaedic specialist?
You should book a visit if joint or bone pain lasts more than a few days, keeps coming back, limits your movement, or follows a fall, twist or sports injury.
Which problems does Dr. Naman Wahal commonly treat?
He regularly manages shoulder and knee pain, rotator cuff tears, ligament injuries, sports injuries, fractures, arthritis, and post‑traumatic deformities.
What will happen during my first consultation?
Your consultation includes a detailed discussion of symptoms, physical examination of the affected area, review of previous tests and, if needed, new X‑rays or scans before explaining treatment choices.
What treatment options might be recommended?
Depending on your condition, treatment may involve activity modification, physiotherapy, medicines, injections, bracing, keyhole (arthroscopic) procedures or joint replacement surgery when truly necessary.
How can I reduce my risk of joint and sports injuries?
Regular strengthening and stretching, warming up before exercise, maintaining a healthy weight and using correct techniques in sports or gym workouts can significantly lower your risk.
How long does recovery usually take after orthopaedic surgery?
Recovery time varies, but many patients stand or walk with support within a day or two after routine procedures and then improve steadily over several weeks with guided rehabilitation.
Are all joint pains a sign that I need surgery?
No, most joint problems improve with non‑surgical care; surgery is considered only when pain is severe, persistent, or when structural damage is clearly seen on scans.
What makes Dr. Naman Wahal a good choice for shoulder and joint problems?
With MS Orthopaedics from AIIMS and specialised international training in shoulder and upper‑limb surgery, Dr. Wahal combines advanced techniques with clear, honest communication and personalised care plans.
